Sewer Cleaning in Illawarra
Professional sewer cleaning across Wollongong, Kiama, Shellharbour and the greater Illawarra region. Blocked sewers cleared, CCTV inspections, high-pressure jetting and tree root removal by licensed plumbers.
Sewer cleaning is a specialist plumbing service that clears blockages and build-up from sewer lines — the pipes that carry wastewater from your home to the council sewer main. In Illawarra, sewer cleaning typically costs $200-$600 depending on the method and blockage severity. An electric eel clears basic blockages for $200-$350, while high-pressure jetting ($300-$500) scours the full pipe diameter and is more effective for grease, tree roots and heavy silt. CCTV sewer inspection ($200-$350) identifies the exact blockage location, pipe condition and root entry points. Tree root intrusion is the most common cause of sewer blockages in Illawarra, particularly in older suburbs with clay sewer pipes and established gardens. Sewer overflows are classified as a health hazard and should be addressed immediately by a licensed plumber.
Sewer Cleaning Services
Professional-grade equipment and methods to clear any sewer blockage and restore full flow.
High-Pressure Sewer Jetting
Industrial-grade water jetting at up to 5,000 PSI blasts through tree roots, grease, silt and scale deposits. Restores full sewer flow and cleans the entire pipe wall, not just a channel.
CCTV Sewer Inspection
Push-rod and crawler cameras inspect your sewer line from the inside. Identifies root intrusion, cracks, joint displacement, bellies and pipe condition. Footage provided with a written report.
Electric Eel Sewer Clearing
Heavy-duty rotating cable with specialised cutting heads breaks through soft blockages and minor root intrusion. Cost-effective first response for sudden sewer blockages.
Tree Root Removal
Mechanical root cutting followed by high-pressure jetting removes invasive roots from sewer pipes. We identify root entry points and recommend permanent solutions like pipe relining.
Emergency Sewer Clearing
Sewer overflows are a health hazard requiring urgent attention. Our 24/7 emergency service provides rapid response across Illawarra to stop sewage overflow and restore sanitary conditions.
Sewer Pipe Repair & Relining
Repair cracked, broken or root-damaged sewer pipes. Options include traditional excavation repair and no-dig pipe relining — a trenchless method that inserts a new pipe inside the old one.

These are typical price ranges for the Illawarra and NSW, drawn from published 2026 industry pricing data — not a quote, and not our fixed prices. What your job actually costs depends on access, the age and condition of the plumbing, parts, and whether it is after hours. We give you a fixed price before we start work, so you are never guessing.
